A serene face, lowered gaze, flowing hair over the shoulders: this is Christ as a youth, delicately carved in white marble.Beneath the bust, the inscription: DILIGES – “You shall love”.One word that holds the essence of the Gospel and divine commandment.
Signed by master sculptor G. Marchesi and dated 1847, this neoclassical work blends ideal beauty with spiritual depth.An invitation to silence, contemplation, and love.
